Yes, a base layer NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) can issue preference shares. However, there are certain restrictions and guidelines that apply:

1. _Type of Preference Shares_: NBFCs can issue only non-convertible preference shares (NCPs) or redeemable preference shares. 

2. _Approval_: The issue of preference shares requires approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

 3. _Compliance_: NBFCs must comply with the RBI's guidelines and regulations, including the NBFC (Issuance of Preference Shares) Directions, 2016.

4. _Priority_: Preference shares have a higher claim on assets and dividends than equity shares but rank below debt.

 5. _Redemption_: Redeemable preference shares must be redeemed within a specified period, typically 5-10 years.

6. _Dividend_: Dividends on preference shares are tax-deductible, but NBFCs must ensure compliance with the applicable tax laws.
